BIRMINGHAM,
Alabama -- UAB students and alumni in search of teaching jobs in elementary or secondary
schools are invited to attend the Education Career Fair to be held at the Alys
Stephens Center on Tuesday from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

"This
career event is slightly different than our traditional career fairs, as it is
more of an 'interview day' for UAB teaching candidates," Trammell said in an
email today. "Recruiters from individual school systems will be present to
conduct 15 minute preliminary interviews with teaching candidates."

Job-seekers
will sign up for interview times from 9-9:45 a.m.

Interviews
will be conducted from 9:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

There
will an opportunity for open networking from 1:30-2 p.m.

Teaching
candidates should wear professional attire and bring the UAB ID cards and
copies of their resumes.

About
30 school systems have registered to attend the fair, including Alabaster, Homewood,
Hoover, Leeds, Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills, as well as Jefferson and Shelby
counties, according to Trammell.

About
200 UAB teaching candidates are expected to attend the event, which has been
held for more than 20 years, according to Trammell.

Students
may begin lining up as early as 7 a.m. The doors will open at 9 a.m. Students
and alumni will be admitted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
